Apple is expanding Siri’s ability to automate complex, multi-step tasks based on a user’s natural voice commands.

For example, Siri can take 5 photos in a row according to a voice command, and then automatically convert them into GIF animated pictures and send them to designated friends. Although the shortcut commands in Apple’s iOS system can automatically convert pictures into GIFs, you have to set them up manually.

According to the report, Apple’s internally built Siri will be deeply integrated into Shortcuts, making it a key part of iOS. Apple maintains a library of shortcut options for tasks ranging from deleting image backgrounds to creating chore lists.

Apple is aiming to launch an enhanced version of Siri next year, which is expected to catch up with voice assistants such as Google Assistant, which focuses on using voice modelling to handle more complex tasks.

The iPhone 4S was released on October 4, 2011 with a dual-core A5 chip, a significantly upgraded camera and support for 1080p HD video recording. In this yet-to-be-released video, the Siri voice assistant feature is highlighted. This is also the first appearance of Siri.

Apple said at the time, “iPhone 4S also introduces Siri, an intelligent assistant that does what you tell it to do. You can use natural language to communicate with Siri, such as ‘Do I need an umbrella to go out this weekend?’ and it will know you’re asking about the weather.
